Can you quote which part of the patch notes say they have instituted split modes? I'm not seeing it.



Exactly. They haven't said it's changed, so the only way we'll find out is to wait 10 minutes and see.

im still strongly against that changes. I dont play that setup but dual ErPPC is excellent part of game to prevent brawling from very start.


It's too powerful up close, and arguably too powerful from range as well, I'd be less agaisnt it if the effectivness of the combo was less powerful within ~180 m. Giving the Gauss a 120 ish m minimum range would help alot with the issue, the ER PPC in turn needs an increase in heat by 1.

From no 3rd person, to only play against 3rd person if you want to, heres 3rd person all over your face... sigh.

I saw this coming and said so. Their implementation is not the worst, but seriously all the promise breaking is leaving me a bit sore. I didn't spend 120 on a founders package though... feel sorry for the guys that did.

I'm liking most of this patch and don't necessarily have many problems with the current implementation of 3rd person as long as they leave it out of 12 man but these guys can't keep a promise worth a crap.

Look great job and all on what you've done right but this right here is the reason I did not buy Phoenix. just saying pgi...just saying...

And people wonder why PGI doesn't listen to the majority of players. It's because of the crying and knee jerk reactions from the majority of players. I've seen 5 year olds act more adult and mature then the majority of players in this game.

What was required was to fix the Spider so you can actually hit it. I bet that most people that were bashing on MGs were just projecting their Spider hate. It's incredible how they can nerf a DEBATABLE weapon in a single patch, yet nerfing the PPCs has been dragging on for months to no avail despite everyone agreeing that they need to be nerfed.


I dont agree that PPCs need to be nerfed. Keep my name out of it.

Nothing is being taken away. Game-breaking things are being added. Are you even paying attention? This sort of thing is actively detrimental to the quality of the game. It will make the metagame immeasureably worse, as scouting and jump sniping become ridiculously OP do to veteran squads and players quick-toggle between the view modes constantly. Everyone I know who played on test saw this happening.

So much anger and hate over a video game.

Hey PGI. Keep up the good work. I'm excited to see what you do with CW and UI 2.0!

PPCs are pretty close to being balanced by themselves. Something probably needs to be done to address them being used as a combo with gauss.

So I truly hope that they forgot to say that there are two different queues for 3PV or 1ST view modes.

Since they didn't I simply hope they added the feature to later on force two different queues (hopefully VERY SOON).

I am NOT AMUSED at all by the 3PV being default. I truly HOPE it won't work like "show founders tag" that each time i re-start the client I have to tick otherwise it will be absolutely annoying.

Medium buffs: good, but they should receive money bonuses too.
-UAC5 buff: you'll regret that
-MGun: let's see how they turn out, they didn't lowered DPS, they just reduced crit chance. Since you mostly run 4-6 of them I guess it won't impact much in their disarming capabilities.
-Streak buff: so, SRMs stay at 2.0 while desperating calling to get back to the previous flight pattern (flight pattern and damage reduction made them so poor that the sniper meta came up as a standard) but streaks now get to 2.0. With Kintaroes around as well. You'll regret this as well.
-Conquest change: who gives a damn, I play assault, conquest games often last even more than Assault ones, so they were pointless (as the whole gamemode is, without respawns and orbital drops). Whatever
-LBX10: i'll try them out but they require the damn flak/solid shot, they still won't be much useful either way.
-Terra therma: fine with that, thanks for the walking bug fix (that isn't fixed, just the spawn is xD)

What buggers me more is the non-separation with 3PV queue. You promised that.

We require an official statement about this.

But hey, the matchmaker these days puts me into ******** teams or in a team with 1-2 assaults, a few heavies and bunches of lights and mediums vs like 9 assaults and 3 heavies so I guess you didn't even had ELO numbers to get separate queues.


Am I right? I think so..

If it does happen I agree that it's a bad idea to leave it out of the notes. I just don't jump to conclusions when possible.

...at this point, it's getting hard to believe they're not actively trying to spite their playerbase here. Lying about 3PV and further nerfing Cbill gains? This is the exact opposite of what the vast majority of players were asking for. I seriously feels like they are, in fact, reading the forums...and then doing the exact opposite of what people want. My guess? "Well, if the 'loud minority' want something, then I bet the 'silent majority' must want the exact opposite!"

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, PGI, but that silent majority you're hoping will come rushing in to save your game? Not gonna stick around. They'll play a couple matches, get bored, and leave without spending any money, while the diehard fans that you're actively trying to alienate, the ones who have proven they were willing to give you money? We're all going to leave at this rate.

Not a penny until separate queue for 1st person master race. Though I haven't paid yet anyway, there are much much more "untils". Damn lying piggy.
